Damage
871Varus

Utility
1.0Varus

Both Varus and Senna provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.3s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
Sustain
540Varus
826Senna
Senna vastly out-sustains Varus, healing and mitigating 286 more damage per minute.
